The Country's Jamie Mackay is joined by PGG Wrightson's General Manager for Rural Real Estate Peter Newbold to take a look at the rural property market this month.
The market has had a few good months, said Newbold, who explained that July, which was usually a quieter month, had been the best it's been in the past six years.
Not only that, but August was tracking to be just as good.
There was still an increase of activity in the rural sector, particularly for lifestyle properties - especially those closer to larger metropolitan communities, said Newbold.
